Local SF Shelter Resident Puts New Books In Shelters- Without Funding !

Friday, April 4, 2008Shelter Resident Creates Libraries Inside San Francisco Shelters Without Funding !San Francisco has an abundance of talent, ideas, creativity and 'outof the box' thinking -- right inside of our own tax funded HomelessShelters.

We have some great shelter residents, like this man here (Mr.  Tomas Picarello) with many years of skills and experience from all walks of life.

They (homeless) actually mirror our non-homeless community in every way. 

That's because they are the same in almost every aspect.   Our City's homeless residents used to have jobs, careers, houses, apartments just like everybody else here. 

Their skills and experience didn't just disappear when they became home-less,  but their normal and necessary access to basic tools and resources did disappear.  That is the problem that prevents them from 'getting back' on their feet.  

Volunteer projects like this one can help empower our home-less residents and give them tools (for FREE!) to help them improve their own lives, without being dependent on goverment or non-profits, directly.
